PROJECT DESCRIPTION

Part-Time • Weekdays • Bay Area / Northern California

Want to use your performance skills to inspire the next generation?

Can you see your work getting this type of feedback years later? The EcoHero Show provides the stage—you create the impact.

“Hey Mr. Eco, you performed at my school when I was in first grade at East Hills Elementary. My name is Paris. I am currently a 12th grader and still remember that day like it was yesterday. You had a huge impact on me, and now I’m glad to say that I’m passing it on to my younger siblings and nieces. I hope your songs and energy continue to stick with people just as they have stuck with me.”
– Paris, 12th Grader, Eastern Hills, Texas

Since launching, the show has performed at 3,000+ schools, reaching over 1.2 million students.

We are seeking a charismatic performer for the EcoHero School Tour, delivering high-energy hip-hop assemblies and classroom presentations for elementary school students throughout the Bay Area and Northern California.

This performer will be trained in whole-school assemblies and individual classroom presentations.

Performers bring the EcoHero character to life by combining music, movement, storytelling, and audience interaction to inspire kids to care for the planet.

After completing paid training, you'll perform independently at elementary schools, leading exciting assemblies and interactive classroom workshops that combine music, storytelling, comedy, movement, and audience participation.

Candidates should be based in the Bay Area or Stockton area and have a flexible weekday schedule.

Submit your audition and come be an EcoHero!
